The Folded Edge - Mission 3  - 11103.08
Host Captain_Egorov says:
Summary:  With shore leave now over, the crew of the Claymore returns to the ship, still within dry dock.  New phaser arrays were fitted on both dorsal and ventral sides of the saucer.  New ablative armor has been installed, replacing the old, and a new set of communications antennae were installed to communicate with the Visby during her slipstream test.
Operations, Science and Engineering onboard the Claymore have been outfitted with monitoring equipment and the ability to shut down the Visby's slipstream drive if needed.

::Nods to Damrok::  CTO: Acknowledged.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@FCO: Take us back slow until clear of the docking rings.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
FCO: Fourteen cubic tons heavy to port, the computer has been programmed to compensate, but you should be aware.  ::heads to his station:: OPS Grunchlk: Thank you, you're relieved.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
OPS: Notify DS3 we are ready for departure.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::identifies the Vulcan and figures her for the captain, a suspicion which is confirmed when she turns slightly and her pips are revealed::

@<Visby_FCO>  CO:  Aye sir, back slow until clear of the rings.  ::Enter the commands into the helm.::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::glances at a reading, and mutters a curse.:: *Engineering*: There's a reason I put those settings the way they were. Touch them again, and I'll chuck the offending party out an airlock. got it? Good!
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Visby backs slowly out of the docking ring and turns one hundred eighty degrees before slowly moving to the staging area.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::checks over the roster and verifies it against the boatswain's report, then nods to himself::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::mutters:: Self: Wherever these crewman were found, I'd like to shoot them all.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::walks down quickly to T'Shara, extending her hand to the Captain::  CO: Captain, I know you're busy, but I wanted to report in before things got more hectic. I'm Chief Petty Officer Sarah Richards, Claymore's new Chief of the Boat.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::settles into the seat and looks around the bridge, looking up at the beam that fell on him::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
OPS: I don't think we've met. I was gonna introduce myself, but then you almost died. ::chuckle:: Sean Carter.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Makes his way toward the third chair, but pauses to view the exchange between the chief petty officer and T'Shara::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::steps away from his station, grabbing a PADD for the CO and trots down and waits quietly to be acknowledged.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::puts it out of his mind and begins focusing on the consoles, almost ignoring the FCO; he replies rapid-fire:: FCO: Kinda did. Got better, Name's Fong. Try not'n scratch the paint.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::feels a little anxious now, or maybe excited...maybe both; it feels awkward, too, to be on a bridge other than Claymore's::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Extends her hand to Richards.::  CMC: It is nice to meet you.  Welcome aboard.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Notices that one of the sensors wasn't calibrated correctly, and begins to make corrections.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::Opens a comm channel to DS3:: COM: Deep Space 3: OPS: Claymore to Deep Space 3: We show all systems green and ready to depart.

OPS: Yessir. ::chuckles again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::smiles, a little awkwardly::  CO: I'm sure we'll talk soon, Ma'am. But I'll leave you to your business.  ::executes a neat about face and heads off the bridge::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@::Stands.::  FCO:  Lay in a course to the Lothian System as detailed in our flight plan.  ::Moves to the front of the bridge.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sighs, and tosses a last PADD on the pile, before scooping them all up and dropping them in an empty drawer of her -- her -- desk. Catches her tea cup and saucer, and strolls out of the office::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods to Richards, then continues on his way, detouring to sciences instead::  SO:  Ensign Shae, how are the sensors?
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@<FCO_Visby> CO:  Aye sir.  ::Enters data into the helm.::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::After finishing and correcting the calibration.:: CTO: All set, Sir.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
CMC: Thank you, Richards.  I'm sure we will.  ::watches as the CMC heads off and then turns back to see Damrok and Mariner standing nearby.::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::steps forward.:: CO: Captain, a word?
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::flicks controls on his console waiting for a reply from DS3, his fingers tapping out a rapid drumbeat as he glances over the new console quickly:: CO: The board is green, Captain, waiting for departure clearance.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
SO:  Good to hear.  Once we are out of dock, we'll need to have sensors trained on the Visby at all times.  It is imperative that we monitor her progress continually.  We will be tied into her readouts as well, as I understand it...we must be informed at the first sign of any trouble.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Glances at Mariner::  EO: Yes, Ensign.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@All:  This is a historic day for Starfleet and the Federation.  Our test today brings a new era of exploration and peace.  The galaxy as we know it today will be much smaller tomorrow.  ::Moves back to the center chair.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::enters Sickbay, his uniform standing out; it appears to be a Marine uniform, but it is jet black rather than the greenish color of the traditional marine uniform::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CTO: Ah'll make sure that Ah have it trained on them at all times and won't hold me tongue if somethin' is out of the norms sent over, Sir.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::sighs as he waits for clearance to depart::
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::an apologetic look.:: CO:  The report that is usually delivered by the chief was left to me, and I wanted to deliver it in person. All systems report ready. All modifications online, and the rest of the departments ready for anything we may encounter, Sir.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
<DS3_OPS> COM:  USS Claymore:  Claymore, you are cleared for departure to the staging area.  Maneuvering thrusters until clear of dry dock then one-eighth impulse to stage.

<TGS_GySgt_Oley>  ::arrives in Sickbay just behind Clark, coming up just behind him::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
SO:  Good.  ::Smiles::  Thank you for coming on shift early.  It is definitely appreciated...  ::The smile fades somewhat::  ...particularly with Lieutenant Commander Senn still among the missing.  ::Glances away a moment, then back, the smile returning::  We'll speak more later.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
Self: Finally. ::lights up his console and slowly backs the ship out of dock::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Lost in thought, she nearly barrels right into the TL...stops short, glancing up, running his face and rank through her mind:: TL: ...Captain..?  ::Glances over to Oley as he arrives::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@CEO:  Commander, how do the boards look?
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Returning the smile with a nod.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods:: EO: Noted and good to hear, Ensign.  As soon as we get the go ahead from DS3 we will depart.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@<CEO_Visby>  CO:  We are green Captain.  All systems are as simulated and verified sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Oley>  ::nods to Raeyld, but gestures towards Clark::  CMO: Ma'am, allow me to introduce Captain Clark, who has rotated in as Team Leader for the new Marine unit aboard Claymore.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::takes a step towards Raeyld and extends his hand::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Makes his way back down toward the third chair, and takes his seat...wonders what they'll do in Davis' absence, if he's gone for a prolonged period of time, but hopes it doesn't involve him working twenty hours a day or better::

OPS: I heard 'em. ::reversing out of dock with thrusters::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::fishes his earpiece from the storage drawer on the console and fits it in place, then turns back to his console:: EO: Station umbilicals retracting, switching shipwide to internal power.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::nods to Damrok as he sits next to her.::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Puts away a bit of wood he had been carving with a sigh and makes his way to the turbolift, too glad at being back on the ship to wait any longer::  TL:  Bridge.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pushes her worries to the back of her mind and takes Clark's hand:: TL: Captain, it's so good to meet you.  ::Nods in greeting, glancing through her eyelashes between the men::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Does a double-take, looking from Fong then back to Carter, then looking to his chairside console::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to T'Shara and nods, assuming that while he was distracted with Shae, she gave the order to depart, and settles back into his chair::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::not curtly, but not bubbling with personality either::  CMO: Likewise, Commander.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::Verifies airlock seals and docking clamps are released, as the FCO eases them out::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@CEO:  Very good, Commander.   ::Taps the console.::  *Shipwide*:  All hands make ready for departure and report status.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TSG_GySgt_Oley>  CMO: Captain Clark inquired about physical requirements. I told him you would certainly be the one to talk to these days.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: Forgive my eagerness, Captain. It's good to fly again. ::chuckles and turns the Claymore toward the staging area::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@OPS: Contact DS3 and let them  know we are at the staging area and standing by.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Purses her lips slightly:: TSG/TL: Certainly. How can I help you?
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@<Visby_OPS> CO:  Aye sir.  ::contact DS3 again.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: Captain T'Shara's probably feeling fortunate right about now.

@::Smiles.::  XO:  And why is that Commander?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::clears his throat::  CMO: When would be a good time?
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Quite all right, Ensign. I know you are just anxious to get flying again. ::turns to Damrok with a slight smile and raised eyebrow::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: Now's probably not a good time to mention my track record of bridge appearances and shipwide destruction..
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::watches and waits to clear the docking ring::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances over her shoulder at the empty bay behind her:: TL: Now is as good a time as any. Later, I'll be initiating a nearly entirely new staff.
Host Captain_Egorov says:

TL: Oh--  ::Blinks a few times:: Oh...  Well then, we'll go ahead and schedule you an appointment. Exams will begin in the coming days.  ::Leans back somewhat in her chair::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods to Shae::  SO: Understood.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::notes the time:: Aloud: Visby departing, standard departure rout.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::just watches his console.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
COM: Visby: Acknowledged, Captain.  We will be right behind you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::surprised, he stands up somewhat awkwardly, pulling his uniform::  FCO: Access predetermined heading. Steady as she goes, maxing at warp nine.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Follow the Visby's course match acceleration.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::waits, monitoring the distance between Claymore and Visby until 5000km is displayed, then matches speed and heading::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@FCO: Engage..
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Visby begins to move until critical velocity, then jumps to warp, slowly accelerating to warp nine.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@XO:  Nicely done, Commander.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Feels a bit anxious as the Visby leaps to warp, not sure what to expect::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::accelerates along with the Visby::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits back, watching Clark with interest::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Continuously monitors the systems.::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
ACTION:  Aboard the Claymore data begins coming in on the Visby's systems.  All systems are currently green and within parameters.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::watches as the view screen comes to life with action, or at least the stars streaking by::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::nods::  CMO: Very well.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: The Visby is performing within prescribed parameters.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::watches the Claymore's systems as they enter warp for the first time since a fairly major overhaul::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::has a seat in the waiting area, or the few chairs that pass for it::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Taps a few controls upon her computer, then shuts it down:: TL: You'll receive a communiqué with the time and date.  ::Stands from her chair, smiling pleasantly:: If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment on the bridge.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods::  SO: Noted.  Let's hope it stays that way, Ensign.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
ACTION:  The Visby reaches warp nine as does the Claymore, five thousand kilometers behind.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@All:  Engage the slipstream drive.   COM:  USS Claymore:  We are engaging the slipstream drive.  We will see you outside the Lothian System. Have a good flight.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leads them out of her office and into the main ward, where she becomes more fully aware of Richards' presence for the first time::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::watches the viewscreen to observe the slipstream drive in action::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::verifies the system status:: CO: Power grid still matches parameters. Visby reports slipstream drive engagement.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_Capt_Clark>  ::nods, but departs ahead of her::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Watches as this will be something to remember::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Monitoring the slipstream drive.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::attempts to maintain a viewscreen lock of the Visby's location::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::heads up behind the helm, placing his foot on the bottom part of the console and leaning forward a bit::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Visby jumps into the quantum slipstream.  Sub-space turbulence buffers against the Claymore, threatening to drop her from warp.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Nods::  OPS: Understood.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Watches the viewscreen, hoping the test goes well so that he'll be able to tell his kids (or at least his nephews and nieces) that he was here at this moment in time::
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Rocks with the turbulence, keeping her footing.::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Holds onto the chair as the turbulence begins to bounce them around.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shrugs her eyebrows as Clark practically disappears from her presence...if only there were an FCO around to say something pithy about what a friendly sort he was::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Take us z axis plus one thousand kilometers.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Approaches Richards extending her hand:: CMC: Chief Richards, I assume?
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CO: Aye. ::moves the Claymore one thousand kilometers upward::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
ACTION:  The ride aboard the Claymore smooths out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::quickly stands and returns the offer::  CMO: Yes, Ma'am. I was trying to iron out a physical date and just get it out of the way.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::grumbles as the ship shakes, out of nervousness he glances upward then back at his console, boosting power to the inertial dampeners, and applying auxiliary power to the warp field stabilizers::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@XO:  How does it feel to be one of the few fastest men in Starfleet?  ::Laughs as the Visby goes like a bat out of hell across the Sector.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Calmly rests his arms on the armrests, shifting his weight slightly, then turns his head to regard T'Shara::  CO:  Well, they're on their way, Captain.  History in progress.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns and smiles, unable to say that it's not a goo--great--feeling::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
CTO: Good history or bad history?
Host Captain_Egorov says:
ACTION:  All science, operations, and engineering monitors go red as the Visby's systems begin to overload.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Visby's going red.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
FCO:  I suppose we'll find out shortly, Mister Carter.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles:: CMC: Certainly. I can fit you in day after tomorrow, if that's all right with you. I need at least a day to get my new staff through orientation.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
FCO:  ...In fact, you may have your answer.  ::Stands from his chair and goes around to sciences::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Relaxes her grip on the chair a bit as things seem to calm down.  CTO: Aye, and we are here to see it.  I wonder how Davis is doing....
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::returns smile as well::  CMO: Sounds good, ma'am.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::frowns:: OPS: Tell them to stop their ship.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Ma'am, the Visby is on it's way to a system overload.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMC: Excellent. If I can provide you with any other assistance, please let me know.  ::Smiles, and gestures toward the exit:: If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment.
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::glances at the CO his hand on the communications panel::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Visby drops from the slipstream and begins to roll uncontrollably to the port side.   Plasma explosions erupt from both nacelles and her warp core goes critical.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_CPO_Richards>  ::nods and moves out of her way::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::feels like he's one of the one hundred losing lottery balls in their little spinny cage thing::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@All:  Red alert.  I mean, helm, emergency thrusters.  ::Begins to panic, then is thrown from his chair.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles once more to Richards, then heads out the door and into the nearby turbolift:: TL: Bridge.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Stands and walks over to science as well.::  OPS: Contact the Visby.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Ah'm pickin' up plasma explosions and warp core is headin' toward critical.
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::fingers hover above his console:: CO: All stop, Ma'am?
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Moves aside slightly for the Captain to see.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::signals transporter room to be ready to beam casualties::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@::Tries to pick himself up then is thrown into the helm console.::
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
*CMO*: Sickbay, standby injured.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::looks down at the console along with Damrok::  FCO: ETA to transporter range?  ::Looking at Fong as well for an answer::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::still at warp, closing to transporter range::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
FCO: Get us to the Visby, maximum warp.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits onto the bridge just as her combadge chirps....steps just far enough onto the bridge, to get a glimpse of the viewscreen::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
OPS: As soon as you have a lock, beam them out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::somewhere between the helm and the viewscreen, shaken, and very stirred::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Shakes his head...just because he fears the worst doesn't mean it has to come true all the time...walks back down toward his chair::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
::accelerates to maximum warp::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::rolls to his stomach and coughs::  ALL: ::weakly::  Report..
OPS_LtJg_Fong says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Not soon enough.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Warp core ejects from the Visby, then explodes, tearing a chunk of the engineering hull out.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Looks up from science and notices Raeyld::  CMO: Doctor, as soon as we have a lock, we will be transporting the crew directly aboard.  Have your teams standing by for injured.
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow, not pleased with that answer::  OPS: Not what I wanted to hear, Mister Fong.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@XO:  Commander.  ::Trouble breathing.::  Commander, sound abandon ship.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Pointing out what she's seeing:: CO: Warp core's been ejected.  Part of engineerin' is gone.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::claws towards the helm seat, which is vacant, and only a little covered in the brains and guts of the now dead FCO::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  Slipstream drive begins to go critical.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
CO: Slipstream is gettin' ready ta go critical.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Blinking as she watches the vessel turn and burn...a memory from a few days ago flitting through her mind::
FCO_Ens_Carter says:
OPS: Divert aux power to warp drive, we gotta move faster!
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Knows, looking at that screen, they're not going to be there in time...too far away...too long::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  There are explosions throughout the Visby.  Consoles on the bridge explode from the power overload.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::slaps at the console, desperately trying to kill power to anything that might make Visby move or go boom::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Commander Davis is there...::
Host CO_Capt_T'Shara says:
::The whites of her knuckles can be seen as she grips the side of the console.  She walks back down toward the main chairs, her hands tied as all they can do is watch::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Paces a few times back and forth in front of his chair, knowing there's nothing to be done except hope they get there in time::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::flies backwards out of his seat, nearly single-handedly defying all of Newtonian physics, slamming down on the deck hard on his back::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Taps her combadge:: ::Her voice barely more than a whisper:: *Amica*: Wake everyone. Sickbay, ten minutes.
SO_Ens_Shae says:
::Has become very quiet as she continues to monitor the situation as best as possible.::
Host Captain_Egorov says:
@ACTION:  The Visby continues at high velocity out of control and enters the Black Cluster.
Host Captain_Egorov says:
